Chapter 396 Forced to Marry
Chapter 396 Forced to Marry
Seeing that the Third Prince mentioned Princess Fenghua and looked at him with a mocking look, Nalan Ze was shocked and angry at the same time.
"Who told you about your aunt's matter?" The fact that the Queen Mother persecuted Princess Fenghua was not made public. It was suppressed by him and the late emperor. The third child was not even born at that time. How did he know about it?
The Third Prince sneered and said, "Who told me? Of course it was Third Aunt. What? Do you want to kill her? Hahaha!"
Nalan Ze paused. The third aunt was the empress dowager's younger sister and had passed away twenty years ago.
She actually told the third brother about Princess Fenghua?
The Third Prince looked at Nalan Ze with disdain: "Father, whether you have done anything to Aunt or not, Aunt's disappearance is inseparable from you. The Royal Grandmother has done so many things, and the biggest beneficiary is you!"
The Third Prince continued, "Since ancient times, the throne has been fought for. Since my grandmother fought for the throne for you, I can certainly fight for it for myself. Not only am I fighting for it, but my fourth brother, fifth brother, eldest sister, second sister, and third sister are all fighting for it. They are all fighting for it too."
The Third Prince seemed to be mad as he continued, "If I fail, there will be another person who will stand up. Father, your children are killing each other! What love and filial piety? Hahaha, they are all jokes in front of the throne."
Seeing his third son like this, Nalan Ze closed his eyes in grief.
He was busy with state affairs and neglected his children. He never expected that his well-behaved children actually had so many thoughts in their minds.
First the second son wanted to kill him, then the third son. Who would be next, the fourth son or the fifth son, or the three daughters?
Nalan Ze came out of the prison in a bad mood. When he returned to the palace, his old figure looked even more haggard.
He asked the prince to call the other two princes and three princesses into the palace to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.
The punishment that the Third Prince finally received was to be demoted to a commoner and sent to the most remote mountain village in Penglai to do farm work. Like Nalan Chen, the two of them had special people guarding them, and those people would send back news about Nalan Chen and the other one every one or two months.
In order to prevent his two sons from causing trouble again, Nalan Ze also sent two secret guards to keep an eye on the two of them at all times, watching them openly and secretly to prevent them from causing trouble again.
Although the queen felt sorry for her two sons, she did not plead for them when she thought about the mistakes they had made, and she even felt that Nalan Ze's punishment was too light.
Nalan Ze snorted softly, "I am old, and my cold heart is softer than before. I don't want to see the young die before me. After I am gone, if these two rebellious sons dare to make trouble again, the boss and Xu'er will kill them at will."
After this incident, Nalan Ze had a lot of thoughts. He felt that it was time for him to let go and hand Penglai over to the hands of the prince.
The prince was terrified: "Stop! My son's health is not as good as yours! You are not old, really not old at all, cough cough cough!!"
He had just said one sentence when he started coughing non-stop, which gave Nalan Ze a headache.
"Can't you be more capable?" Nalan Ze said unhappily.
The prince said weakly: "I'm sorry, father, it's my fault. I, cough, cough, cough..."
Nalan Ze waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't give you the throne."
The prince's drooped eyes suddenly lit up. Was he going to be free?
"I will pass the throne to Xu'er, and you will assist him."
Prince: "..."
Nalan Xu, who had not been able to get a word in, said: "......"
Having been trained as a candidate for the crown prince since childhood, Nalan Xu was a little resistant to the throne. He believed that being an emperor would shorten his life and make him bald, and he would have to review memorials and deal with various issues every day.
Being in the royal family, he has no choice, especially when there are so many people around him who are eyeing the throne. No matter how tired Nalan Xu is, he still has to take on the responsibility.
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan didn't care who would become the emperor of Penglai. What they cared about most at the moment was Zhong Kui's affairs.
Zhong Kui was forcibly abducted by the Shangguan clan to become a son-in-law!
Upon hearing this news, Ye Tang was very surprised: "Are the people of the Shangguan clan so thief? In order to strengthen their bloodline, they actually rob men on the street!!!"
Because of the previous turmoil in the royal family, the Shangguan clan did not dare to cause trouble and had been quiet.
But after the Third Prince's issue was resolved, the Shangguan clan became active and directly captured Zhong Kui.
He Songlin said, "If we don't rescue him, Zhong Kui will be married soon. It is said that the young lady from the Shangguan clan who is going to marry him is tall and has a rough voice. She is more powerful than a man. Zhong Kui likes delicate young ladies, but not those kind of female demons!"
Ye Tang's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he looked at Jamel Xiao: "We are free anyway, let's go save them, this incident was caused by us."
It was they who asked Zhong Kui to test the Shangguan clan.
Ye Tang has already learned thoroughly about the strength of the Shangguan clan from Nalan Ze. The twenty divine powers of the Shangguan clan are all men. Although they are very strong, they don't seem to be very strong. In short, the Shangguan clan is warlike, but their strength is not as good as before. There are rarely any Shangguan clan members in the Penglai army.
Without further ado, before it got dark, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan rode out on horseback, taking Ye Qianbai, He Songlin and about twenty guards with them, and headed for the Shangguan clan.
Nalan Ze was just about to summon Ye Tang into the palace to listen to her continue telling the story when he heard that Ye Tang had gone out and was heading towards the Shangguan clan, so he sent someone to inquire about the situation.
On the Shangguan clan's side, a wedding ceremony was being held at the residence of the third branch of the direct lineage. Many guests gathered, most of whom were from the Shangguan clan, both from the direct lineage and from the side branches. There were very few guests from outside.
Zhong Kui was tied up and brought to the central hall. Next to him stood a burly woman who was half a head taller than him.
The woman shyly blinked at Zhong Kui and said in a delicate voice, "My husband, you are so handsome!"
Zhong Kui's mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak. He could only stare at the woman with angry eyes and curse her in his heart.
You look so fucking tall and mighty!
It's over! It's over! His innocence is gone!
He doesn't want to marry a hag!
The Shangguan clan is so shameless that they actually forced him to marry this unwanted she-devil!
"The auspicious time has come!"
Following a loud shout from the ceremonial officer, the burly bride grabbed Zhong Kui's arm and turned him around to face the sky and earth.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
The bride kicked Zhong Kui, and Zhong Kui was forced to kneel on the ground. The bride knelt beside him and was about to kowtow, but when she saw that Zhong Kui did not move, she reached out and grabbed Zhong Kui's head and pressed hard, and Zhong Kui's head hit the ground with a bang, which was quite loud.
When he raised his head, Zhong Kui's forehead was red.
He wanted to kill the bride!
I have never seen such a rude woman, she is ugly and violent!
